Hi All,
They side toward and away from the truck. What is the fix for this? I cant tell what it needs.. the bolts attaching the boards to the frame appear to be tight.. headscratch

p.s. obviously getting this thing going! Hope to meet some of you at the events. wave

If your bolts are tight, the boards will not move. Check the bolts to see that the nuts are not bottoming out on the threads before they tighten. Should be carriage bolts, if I recall. Maybe some extra washers will help.

381.5ton Use bigger washers may need 2or 3 to absorb the hight of the square on your carriage bolts.
